Both sides have been exceptional in their recent games, and this will make me stick to the goal market in this clash rather than siding with either side. Even though the last three games between these sides have not seen the BTTS result, this game is moving in that direction. Moreover, 4 of the previous five games between the two sides at this venue have seen the result.
